Under the multiple protection of the firm long player, the clever rattan player, and the back row of palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring, under the strong suppression of the firm long player, Qi Jiguang called "the barrier of the army, the

It’s not that the combat effectiveness of the Central Camp is not strong, but the length of the gunman’s weapons in their queue is too disadvantageous compared to Chen Wen’s formation-pressing weapon wolf wisted. They have always been beaten before they can reach the opponent. If they are not careful, they will be stabbed by the opponent’s gunman, and will be sentenced to death and withdraw from the competition.

Although their swords and cards are all composed of strong fighters in the army, the swords and cards themselves need to keep a distance from each other to slash weapons to attack. In this way, they are even hung up by the Yuanyang Formation, which has a dense formation, with the advantage of more and less, and are often not even touched by people, let alone exerting their usual role in breaking strong enemies and destroying strong formations.

Unlike their opponents, the officers and soldiers of the Armored Side looked at all this in a daze. They could hardly imagine that everything in front of them was the result of just one month of practice. At least before the game, the most optimistic of them was that this competition would be a dead end, rather than being as devastating as before them.

"I didn't expect that Qi Shaobao's mandarin duck formation was so powerful." Mao Mingshan's words expressed the thoughts of almost everyone on the stage.

Unlike Mao Mingshan who had to fight in front of the melee military generals, Huang Zhongdao had read books and knew words, so he had better ability to summarize and analyze. He hesitated for a moment and still expressed his thoughts.

"Actually, under normal circumstances, the casualties between the two sides will not be like this."

"Oh?" Not only Mao Mingshan, except for Chen Wen who was still observing the reaction of the armor whistle, everyone's eyes turned to Huang Zhongdao.

"When fighting normally, the Tartars will fire cannons, muskets, bows and arrows, and throw javelins and hand axes. These projection weapons will cause certain casualties before the battle. I think Chen's subordinates always maintain the formation with the players in front and the other soldiers behind them before the battle, probably for the sake of reducing such casualties."

This is indeed the case under normal circumstances, especially artillery. Relying on the push of the high-pressure gas generated instantly by the combustion of gunpowder, the shells will fly out of the muzzle at extremely high speed and strength at extremely high speed and strength until all kinetic energy is exhausted. Not to mention humans wearing armor and shields, even Tyrannosaurus rexes wearing armor and shields cannot withstand it.

The problem now is that in order to prevent unnecessary casualties, Wang Yi banned the use of such weapons in this competition. This decision, which is absolutely natural at the moment, directly led to the central camp's record becoming even more ugly.

Then, Huang Zhongdao shook his head, saw him sighing and continued, "This is the school competition. If an army suffered such casualties on the battlefield, it would have collapsed long ago. At that time, the crowd would either surrender or flee, and would not have been killed in battle."

"Well."

Almost everyone on the military-station platform knows that what Huang Zhongdao said is true. Under normal circumstances, the Ming army in this era had a capacity of about 5% to 10%. Once this ratio exceeded, it often collapsed instantly. There have been many times in history that tens of thousands of Ming army were defeated after hundreds of casualties. In fact, the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty was not very capable of withstanding casualties, but compared with other feudal armies of this era, it was still ridiculously higher.

As a time traveler, the normal idea should be to directly torture the modern Western army, train square formations and modern cavalry, and thus push the Qing Dynasty.

However, with the terrain of the southeastern coast of China and his current strength, will it really work to train square formations and modern cavalry on a large scale? This is a question!

Therefore, for Chen Wen, copying the Qi family army became a better choice, because the Qi family army of Qi Jiguang's era was no longer a feudal army in the practical sense, but a powerful attempt by China to advance towards the modern army. In addition, this army has a glorious tradition of saving the people as its mission, and it is more in line with Chen Wen's needs.

So, what is the feudal army and what is the modern army?

The so-called feudal army must talk about the feudal system. The so-called feudal system means that the monarch grants land to his subjects in the form of feudalization, and the subjects have the obligation to be loyal to the monarch, fight and provide taxes for the monarch. The medieval Europe and China during the Zhou Dynasty were both of this standard feudal system.

The feudal army is a product based on this system. The feudal army in Europe in the Middle Ages used knights, entourages, and cannon fodder peasant soldiers to fight. On the battlefield in medieval Europe, hundreds or thousands of knights and their entourages charged forward with their personal bravery, and behind them were tens of thousands of temporary cannon fodder peasant soldiers. Due to differences in armor, weapons, war horses and fighting will, the few knights that determine the outcome of the war, rather than the peasants who exceeded the knights a hundred times, and this is the feudal army.

Under such a system, wealthy countries can support more heavy knights, while poor countries will be in a passive state of being beaten, such as Austria and Switzerland at that time.

But who would be happy to be beaten?

Therefore, in order to deal with Austria, which is mainly heavy cavalry, a Swiss infantry phalanx mainly consists of halberds appeared in Switzerland, and it repeatedly defeated Austrian heavy cavalry.

Subsequently, Swiss mercenaries began to rampant in Europe and won the reputation of the strongest infantry in Europe. Swiss phalanx began to become popular and more versions were derived, such as the Spanish phalanx, the Morris phalanx, and the Gustav phalanx. Of course, there is also the revival of classical militarism in ancient Greece and Roman times, and modern armies began to gradually take shape.

Unlike the feudal army, modern army no longer emphasizes personal bravery, but instead emphasizes cooperation and team spirit. On the battlefield, it is like an automated machine operating after the industrial revolution. The kinetic energy generated is no longer something that feudal army that relies on personal bravery to compete with. Of course, in addition, as a new recruitment and military academy system that provides parts, the military supply system that provides energy and the staff system that exists as chips are also indispensable.

The Swiss phalanx initially relied on the friendship of fellow countrymen and the tenacity of Swiss mountain people. However, later, with the revival of classical militarism, the methods of cultivating team spirit became diverse, and the army's cohesion and ability to withstand casualties were also rising wildly. Even during the American Civil War, an army was in line to advance in artillery fire, and it was not until more than 80% of the deaths occurred.

In order to deal with the threat of Austrian heavy cavalry, in fact, as early as the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, due to the northern Mongols and the Japanese turmoil in the southeast, the Ming Dynasty's army also had two ideas in the process of quelling the rebellion.

The first is Li Chengliang's idea of ​​eating empty wages and drinking blood to support his family's personal soldiers. This is actually the Chinese version of the European medieval knight system. Li Chengliang nominally commanded 100,000 Liaodong Ming army. In fact, he could only fight with more than a thousand soldiers on the battlefield, so his number of beheadings was only more than one thousand. However, his personal soldiers and servants did dare to fight. These Han cavalry frantically chopped and killed the Mongols and Jurchens on the battlefield, just like cutting melons and vegetables. Even Haci, who was praised by later generations for his ten achievements, could only survive by recognizing Li Chengliang as his godfather.

The second idea was made by Qi Jiguang. By fighting against Japanese pirates and the Mongols, Qi Jiguang developed a multi-army joint combat system of infantry battalions, horse camps, chariots and cannon camps, and supplies camps, to crush all kinds of barbarians in a variety of ways. Although the most famous of the Qi family army is the Mandarin Duck Formation, whether it is the Mandarin Duck Formation or the system of cooperation between various types of troops, according to Qi Jiguang's idea, everyone should do their own things well. Cooperation is the way to win this army.

In fact, in later history, these two ideas once collided, which was the bloody battle of the Hunhe that Chen Wen once talked about. One side was the Eight Banners Army composed of the Tungus barbarians and the Mongols in Liaodong, and the other side was the new Qi family army trained by Qi Jiguang's nephew General Qi Jin.

**Haci's Eight Banners Army was tossed out according to Li Chengliang's ideas. They aimed at plundering wealth and seizing land, and they were more powerful than the Li Chengliang era. General Qi Jin's new version of Qi's army was actually just a semi-finished product, because this army only had chariot and cannon battalions, no infantry battalions, and the horse battalions cooperated with the baggage battalions, and their combat capabilities were far inferior to those of the Qi Jiguang era.

But even so, in the bloody battle of Hunhe, this semi-finished Qi family army showed extremely strong combat power, and Haci attacked with absolute advantage in an attack would have only been difficult to win. If it weren't for the Sichuan Baigang soldiers being bombarded by traitor gunners in the early stage, the losses caused by excessive losses, and the reinforcements of the Liaodong Ming army, which cooperated with the cooperation, had never arrived at the battlefield, it would still be unknown who would win and who would lose.

In Chen Wen's view, Qi Jiguang's Qi family army system can actually be regarded as moving towards the modern army. The Swiss used their fellow countrymen as a bond and used the tenacity of the mountain people to fight against heavy cavalry, while the Qi family army drove away Japanese pirates and saved the people as their faith. With the soldiers in Jinhuafu who were brave in the folk customs of the people, they used the mutually cooperative mandarin duck formation to crush the Japanese pirates and the Mongols, which was actually infinitely close in their thinking.

If it can be popularized and then developed, who said that China in modern military forces must be able to import from Western powers?

However, in order to prevent the generals from growing, the rulers of the Ming Dynasty, especially the civil servant group, chose Li Chengliang's ideas without hesitation. Therefore, the plan proposed by Qi Jiguang to train in Jizhen during the training of military forces in Jizhen was still alive, and the Qi family army completely became a weapon that only Qi Jiguang and his officers could use. After his old age, the army and the modernization path of the Ming Dynasty army he symbolized was completely blocked.

Everything Chen Wen has done since he decided to rebuild the Qi family army was to reopen this blocked road to modernization of China's military!

However, ideals are full and reality is skinny. At this moment, Chen Wen still needs to start with this seed unit of about 300 people, and he is about to face the large-scale encirclement of the Qing army.

As for this competition, the outcome is actually already destined, and there is no need to worry too much. Even an army that has just begun to move towards the modernization of military is definitely not something that the feudal army can resist, especially those personal soldiers and soldiers who are the backbone forces are not present.

In the martial arts field, the two wings extended from the geese-shaped formation in the middle camp collapsed across the line and the offensive had completely collapsed. In this case, perhaps because they were not in the battlefield where flesh and blood were flying, the garrison in the middle camp did not collapse. At this moment, under the command of the officers, the rest of the troops also turned into a circular formation to defend the armored post and the next counterattack.

Seeing that the fire soldiers who had become idle because there were no casualties or beheadings, Chen Wen helped to help the wounded soldiers who fell to the ground in the camp, he signaled Lou Jiye, who was in charge of command, to continue the attack. After receiving the command from the general, Lou Jiye immediately ordered the armored whistle to change formation again.

With Lou Jiye's order, the four teams of the armored whistle were arranged left and right according to the unit, with the wolf's hand as the center front row, the spearmen were located on both sides of the wolf's hand, and the boring and palladium hand were arranged side by side on the inside of the spearmen between the two, while the long card player and the rattan player were located outside respectively. This is the Xiaosan Talent Formation.

The mistress formation is still pressing the formation with the wolf's hand, and the spearman is responsible for assassination. Unlike the master's formation, the boring and palladium hand turns from the side and back to occupy the middle lane, while the two players are responsible for protecting the flanks. In terms of weapon matching, this configuration is like a forward-looking arrow, which is more suitable for attack.

"Tiger!"

The drums that launched the attack sounded, and the officers and soldiers of the armored whistle shouted in unison. This is the tradition of the Qi family army. During the battle, each drum would be shouted "tiger" to inspire morale and shock the enemy's courage.

Later, when the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor during World War II, they also used the code name "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!", which is very consistent with the national nature of their nation who immediately admires them whenever they beat them up. Unfortunately, what they learned is often just a little bit of fur. As for the essence, haha.

The armored whistle moved slowly forward because if the speed was too fast, it would be difficult for them to keep the teams parallel, like them who had just been practicing for a month. With Chen Wen's training facilities, they formed a conditioned reflex to their tasks more quickly, so that they could exert the power of the Mandarin Duck Formation in the previous confrontation. This was already very difficult for them. If they asked for more, they might not have completed it so perfectly.

"If it is on the battlefield, the biggest problem for this army in Chen's hand is whether it can withstand the pressure of real swords and guns. His soldiers have only been practicing for a month, and have never been on the battlefield, and they should have never seen blood. Once they can't withstand the pressure, no matter how good the formation is, they cannot exert even one-tenth of the power."

Huang Zhongdao's comments aroused deep thoughts from everyone on the Sword Platform, and even Chen Wen secretly agreed with this statement in his heart.

Yue Fei once said that if you can get on the formation, hold the gun, and have saliva in your mouth, you are a good soldier. If you can hold the gun and have saliva in your mouth, it means that the soldier is not so nervous that he is dry. Everyone has nervousness and fear. Chen Wen knew in modern times that nervousness will affect his condition. Many athletes, especially newcomers who participate in the competition for the first time, often miss the match due to nervousness.

Chen Wen knew very well that his small army copied from the Qi family army had never been on the battlefield, so how to avoid the fear of fighting against real swords, guns and blood was a big problem. Of course, there were artillery, and if it was hit, it was a flesh-and-blood alley. Even if it didn't hit, it might not be something that these new recruits could bear.

In the idea of ​​giving Tian Xiong a surprise, he did not plan to go out to the mountains to find Green Camp soldiers to practice before the encirclement. Of course, it was not so easy to find the goal of practicing. After all, to practice, you have to fight against hundreds of people, and it is not so easy to find except for siege.

Therefore, we still need to continue training in the coming days. As for how to practice, Chen Wen thinks we still need to think about it.

The following competition did not have any unexpected situations and it was soon over. The lush wolf sluts perfectly suppressed the opponent's weapons, and the hard progress of the few remaining Ruiz who had achieved fruitful results in the central camp was also resolved by the palladium and the player one by one.

When the attack was initially launched, the Central Camp was in high morale because they firmly believed that they could not lose to these new recruits. However, with the defeat of the attack, the sharp men in the camp were too severe and their morale became low, so the remaining soldiers in the Central Camp were also taken away by the armored whistle. In the end, the desperate soldiers of the Central Camp began to use their weapons as projectile weapons, and they could only use this to cause some extremely limited casualties to the armored whistle.

Li Ruixin was not surprised at all after witnessing this with his own eyes. Originally, when he was going up the mountain, he looked down on these short and thin southern infantry. If it weren't for the Lao Shi Yuan Duck Formation that Chen Wen had deliberately trained, it was a weapon that Qi Jiguang had beaten the Mongolian Tartars, he would have advised Chen Wen to train cavalry. Even if it was slower to form an army, it would be of some use when encountering a real Tartar.

However, during the training these days, he gradually noticed the advantages of this formation, with long and short soldiers intertwined, and both offense and defense. Although this formation cannot be extreme in both offense and defense, it is indeed difficult to break the formation if it is just a cold weapon, and even the cavalry will be greatly restricted, unless there are artillery. However, in his impression, artillery seems to either like to explode the chamber or simply fail to aim accurately, and it is probably difficult to pose too much threat to this mandarin duck formation.

Even so, Li Ruixin still felt that he should train cavalry on a large scale. Even if the effect is not significant in this Jiangnan land, he should start training as soon as possible. After all, in his opinion, Chen Wen will sooner or later fight against the Central Plains. If there is no strong cavalry at that time, how can he confront the Tartars on the battlefield?

After the competition, the armored whistle began to return to the area where the camp was led by the officer. An Youfu, who had killed the super god in this competition, felt quite depressed. The injury on his butt seemed to be even more painful due to exercise, and the sprained foot seriously affected his movements. If the fire soldiers from the same team came forward to support him, they would probably not be able to keep up with the queue. I hope I won’t fall into the root of the disease, otherwise it would be a bad thing.

After receiving a report from the minor official who calculated the casualties, the civil servant who was quite disdainful of Chen Wen in the morning looked at Chen Wen with awe, and then made a report to Wang Yi.

"Report to the strategy, in this competition, the Central Camp sent 100 troops to the garrison, and the entire army was wiped out. Chen's garrison camp sent 50 troops, one person was killed and four were injured."

Although he saw it clearly on the military-selected platform, Wang Yi was still excited to stand up the moment he got the answer. Although the purpose of polishing Chen Wen's character was not achieved, the addition of a strong soldier from the Ming army in Dalan Mountain still made him, the civil servant of the military supervisor, excited.

"Qi Shaobao's mandarin duck formation is indeed well-known. Chen Shoubei has made great efforts."

"A humble position is just a fool to get it."

Looking at the guard who was depressed and embarrassed and didn't know where to put his face, Wang Yi turned to comfort him. "The archers, musketeers and cavalrymen who were on guard were also very good at training the soldiers. In the future, we must continue to work hard to train the soldiers."

"As for the order." After receiving the consolation prize, the guard barely found some face, but he was still embarrassed to be here, so he hurriedly sued and rushed to appease the soldiers.

After the garrison left, Wang Yi asked Chen Wen: "Governor Chen, what's going on with that soldier in your camp?"

Chen Wen followed Wang Yi's instructions and saw An Youfu, who was limping with the help of his comrades, returning to the area where he was in the camp, with the help of his comrades.

He smiled and said to Wang Yi: "Reporting to the strategy, the soldier was injured, so the other soldiers would be supported."

"Oh?" The wounded soldier dared to bring him out for the competition? This question aroused Wang Yi's interest. In addition to An Youfu's limping and being more conspicuous, he also noticed the fierceness and accuracy of this guy's gun during the competition, so he was very interested.

"The soldier violated military law yesterday and contradicted the military judge. He was 50 years old according to the military staff. He also sprained an ankle during training, so he laughed. But today his team needs to compete, so the soldier volunteered to go with him to prevent inconvenience caused by unfamiliar cooperation."

This is actually the case.

As soon as Chen Wen said this, the entire army immediately became silent. It was too sensational to have such cohesion in just one month.

At this moment, even Wang Yi nodded. Although the answer was somewhat unexpected, it still satisfies him. At least Chen Wen, a newly-employed employee, has quite a lot of ability, and can gather the morale of the army in just one month, so that soldiers will have to participate in the battle even if they are injured. This is really incredible. He knew very well that even if it rains and snows in this era, it would be natural to not have sex, let alone be injured.

"Come here, I will reward the hero with five taels of silver."

"I thanked this person for his advice."

"In the third battle, the Central Camp sent 100 troops to the garrison, and all the troops were killed; Chen's garrison sent 50 troops, one person was killed and four were injured. This competition Chen's garrison battalion won."

After hearing the results announced by the civil servants of Sili, the officers and soldiers in Chen Wenying immediately cheered, especially the more than 200 people from the Yuanyang Formation Killer Team. They gave the same training as the armored whistle, and were even more honored for this result.

"After the three competitions, the Central Camp side won one game, Chen Shoujian Camp won two games, Chen Shoujian Camp won two games, Chen Shoujian Camp won two games."

The cheers from the field became even hotter, and Chen Wen also returned to the base camp to share the joy of the soldiers. Immersed in the cheering atmosphere, even though he knew very well that this small army that had just been born was still a long way from the strong army of that year, but a sense of pride still erupted in his heart.
Chapter completed!
